What size is your rim because i have never heard of an 05 Lariat with 16 inch factory wheels.

I thought a 16" factory rim sounded odd

Now that you know the size of your rim you should pick up some 295/70R18's. i have the Nitto Trail Grapplers and i love them. I have a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit in the front and they fit great with no rubbing. They are a great tire unless you have to do a lot of snow driving.

the size sounds good but im not sure what tires i want yet. I want something that isnt very expensive, and something that is good on the highway because i dont do any serious off roading but something that will get me by when i do get into some mud every once in a while. Also i am still deciding on a leveling kit
